Answer: As the gas gets hotter, the molecules gain energy and move farther apart, causing the gas to expand.

If it is heated while it is being compressed or held inside a container as such, the pressure build up while in the container  and the pressure can become so much that the container will burst.

Answer:

VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Explanation:

Effusion rate of the lighter particles will be higher than the heavier particles. That is, the lighter particles will leave the container faster than the heavier particles. Over time, the vapor pressure of the greater number of heavier particles will be higher than the vapor pressure of the lighter particles.

=> VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Review Graham's Law => Effusion Rate ∝ 1/√formula mass.

5.00 g of hydrogen gas and 50.0g of oxygen gas are introduced into an otherwise empty 9.00L steel cylinder, and the hydrogen is
GenaCL600 [577]
1) Balanced chemical reaction:

2H2 + O2 -> 2H20

Sotoichiometry: 2 moles H2: 1 mol O2 : 2 moles H2O

2) Reactant quantities converted to moles

H2: 5.00 g / 2 g/mol = 2.5 mol

O2: 50.0 g / 32 g/mol = 1.5625 mol

Limitant reactant: H2 (because as per the stoichiometry it will be consumed with 1.25 mol of O2).

3) Products

H2 totally consumed -> 0 mol at the end

O2 = 1.25 mol consumed -> 1.5625 mol - 1.25 mol = 0.3125 mol at the end

H2O: 2.5 mol H2 produces 2.5 mol H2O -> 2.5 mol at the end.

Total number of moles: 0.3125mol + 2.5 mol = 2.8125 mol

4) Pressure

Use pV = nRT
n = 2.8125
V= 9 liters
R = 0.082 atm*lit/K*mol
T = 35 C + 273.15 = 308.15K

p = nRT/V  = 7.9 atm

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The boiling point of water at 550 torr will be 91 °C or 364 Kelvin

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Pressure = 550 torr

The heat of vaporization of water is 40.7 kJ/mol.

Step 2: Calculate boiling point

⇒ We'll use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation

ln(P2/P1) = (ΔHvap/R)*(1/T1-1/T2)

ln(P2/P1) = (40.7*10^3 / 8.314)*(1/T1 - 1/T2)

⇒ with P1 = 760 torr = 1 atm

⇒ with P2 = 550 torr

⇒ with T1 = the boiling point of water at 760 torr = 373.15 Kelvin

⇒ with T2 = the boiling point of water at 550 torr = TO BE DETERMINED

ln(550/760) = 4895.4*(1/373.15 - 1/T2)

-0.3234 = 13.119 - 4895.4/T2

-13.4424= -4895.4/T2

T2 = 364.2 Kelvin = 91 °C

The boiling point of water at 550 torr will be 91 °C or 364 Kelvin
